His info seems to be right on the money, as well as stating that the ONLY true synthetic oil on the market is Amsoil.
Others "claim" to be, but aren't.
Mobil 1 is the worst company that claims to be full synthetic as well as Castrol. When conered, they will admit that they no longer manufacture "pure" synthetics.
I'm not trying to act superior... my point was you are putting out mis-information... the things you said above are simply flat-out 100% wrong.
I will try to find the link to the website that proves that Mobil and Castrol aren't fully synthetic like they claim.
Please do that.
In actual fact, Castrol, Shell Rotella, Pennzoil and others are the true frauds in the synthetic oil business. Why do you think they cost half as much as Mobil 1 or Amsoil?
Call Mobil's toll-free number and ask them if their fully synthetic oils are Group IV PAO-Based. Then call Castrol, Pennzoil, Valvoline and Shell... and try to get a straight answer out of them on the same question about their 'fully synthetics'.
Read my previous post about the Mobil Vs. Castrol lawsuit if you haven't yet. I give credit to Mobil for still making a true Group IV synthetic when they could just 'fake it' like everybody else.
I have never seen 10W40 weight oil with friction modifiers, it would kinda defeat the whole purpose of energy conserving.
Your above quote is interpreted by me to mean that you're saying friction modifiers defeat the purpose of energy conserving... when in fact they are the reason for 'energy conserving' to be on the label.
And as Steve mentioned above... you seem to contradict yourself on occassion.
I would never waste my money on synthetic.
Think that I am gonna run Rotella T 15W40 for a couple thousand miles then switch over to Mobil 1 15W50 extended mileage.
Finally... I would have trusted Amsoil... up until the last year or so when I heard about several people who used it in a Bandit and ended up with pitted cam lobes. (Others on this website will verify this information.) I have never heard of this happening with Mobil 1. Part of it may be due to the cheapo hardening process used in manufacturing Bandit cams... but I'm not taking any chances.
No offense intended, BB. I just don't think people should be misinformed. And I think it's ridiculous for people to make claims about Mobil 1 for OR against... when they've never even tried it themselves. I suggest you go out on a limb... drop the $20 for a 5 qt. jug of Mobil 1 at Wal-Mart... and then tell us how you feel about it.
